Brighton De Zerb Their Own Thread

[Sebastes]

Yup, you have to bring them back into the top of the table discussion with that setup. Not much as changed and they maintain their stability and excellence with De Zerbi as well.

It’s a shame they couldn’t hold onto Colwill again this year though.

Top six contender, and back with Newcastle, terrorising teams again this season.

If that’s indeed how they’ll line up then 4 out of 6 positions will have changed. 3 if you count Enciso as the same but reality is he just played a bit part last season. Will take time to gel, though it’s a very interesting side to follow. Colwill was very good and is a loss they won’t be able to quite replace even though that Igor seems like a De Zerbi player on paper.

I reckon they’ll be 6-8th

Great signing for Brighton is Kudus.

Still feels so weird that Brighton & Hove Albion can take one of Ajax's best players though, the sentence alone sounds so stupid

Money in England has really ruined the game these past 10-15 years!

Takes Brightons summer spend to £100M with a net spend of £40M as things stand.

Bart
Igor
Dahoud (free)
Milner (free)

And then England cries foul over Saudi.

And then England cries foul over Saudi.

Just a few 23/24 premier league transfer stats to wet the whistle.

So far premier league clubs have spent £1.45B on transfers this window.

So far the only club that hasn’t signed a single player are West Ham.

Most clubs have spent £50-60M, just a handful that are under that amount.

Unsurprisingly with the addition of Raya Arsenal are currently the leagues biggest spenders. Chelsea are second, United third.

Chelsea are the team that’s made the most money from sales. Followed by wolves and West Ham who have both made around £100M from sales.

Hmm, Kudus moves for practically the same fees as timber. So it would mean that Arsenal prioritised Cb, rb backup over Striker, rw backup. Interesting to see how that plays out.

Umm.. Arsenal bought Havertz though, before Timber? He can play false 9 and Jesus can play RW. Or even Havertz can play RW in emergency.

Or for the same fee we’ve got a better player.

I don’t want to rush to judgement but based on what we’ve seen so far Timber is shaping up to be an incredible investment.

I’d rather have spent the money on him than Kudus based on the little we’ve seen so far.

How did they get £12m for Maupay? Fs

That's great business without really missing a beat in the league. Take out Caicedo and that's still more than we've made in the last five years even if we get the asking price for this summer's surplus.

12m for Burn and we can't seem to get anything close to that for Holding?

Merchantry of the highest order. Zerbis CV was mediocre before brighton.

My bad, two consecutive eight placed finishes with Sassuolo is quite good. Must've though about someone else.

The way his team plays we can only admire it tbf.

I rate him but they also are capable of dropping real clangers and he has absolutely no pressure on him there.

 

[Macho]

I remember when he was at Watford he never got a game.

Wait what. How have you managed to quote a post within itself? What sorcery is this??

Huge coup and very surprising signing for the Seagulls:

Barcelona's Fati: Brighton set to sign Spain forward on season-long loan

Spain forward Ansu Fati is set to complete a surprise season-long loan move to Brighton from Barcelona.

Fati has fallen down the pecking order at Barcelona, who need to create some space in their squad to sign Manchester City full-back Joao Cancelo on loan.

Brighton's deal for the 20-year-old does not include an obligation to buy.

Tottenham had also been linked with Fati but he is understood to have been impressed by Brighton's style of play under manager Roberto de Zerbi.

If the deal goes through as planned, it would be a major coup for Brighton, who will be playing European football this season for the first time having qualified for the Europa League.
